Featured Reviews

Gene Yazgur - PeerSpot reviewer
Virtualization team lead / VMware SME at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Peer reviews have guided our decisions and now highlight gaps in product coverage
Regarding PeerSpot's AI capabilities, I cannot answer that as I don't have the context. I cannot answer how different departments within my organization leverage the insights and content generated by PeerSpot. The distinct insights that PeerSpot's detailed customer reviews offer my team are the same as information gleaned from star ratings, badges, or condensed review formats; they are another source of information. The presence of my validated PeerSpot reviews within AWS Marketplace or Google Cloud Marketplace affects buyer consideration for my products as another point of reference. The present significance for my organization of having customer reviews and insights discoverable by AI tools and LLMs during vendor evaluations is that it's another point of reference for the mentioned product. My advice to others looking into using PeerSpot is to do your homework and research and look for independent sources of information before making a decision.
Diego Paradeda - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Philips
Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"PeerSpot's detailed customer reviews offer my team distinct insights compared to information gleaned from star ratings, badges, or condensed review formats, as the longer reviews provide more opportunities for our customers to leave more detailed feedback and reviews of our products and services."
"The best features PeerSpot offers include a large selection of products to choose from and a vast pool of experience."
"PeerSpot has helped us to build reviews from our customers and then use those reviews on pieces of content and social media."
"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization by bringing in more customer validation in our marketing narratives, which is great because it makes it not just marketers and salespeople telling the story, but customer words, which is really important and resonates well in the market."
"PeerSpot has given us so many great reviews with context, making them easy to share on the website and with prospects with a simple link."
"PeerSpot really takes that load off of our customers and partners and gives them the opportunity to share their insights in a much easier way, which is really great."
"PeerSpot has positively impacted my organization because we use them a lot."
"We have seen a great return on investment with PeerSpot, as we are able to provide a lot of value-added information to potential new customers, giving us a leg up and authority within our space."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
 

Cons

"I would focus a bit on the vendor dashboard to make it more intuitive."
"Because we're still fairly new to PeerSpot or I am new to owning the PeerSpot program, we have not seen quantifiable ROI yet, but that is definitely something that we're looking into for the future."
"I would like to see multiple options to create links to track campaign success across multiple marketing opportunities."
"I wish we would dive a little deeper into the lead generation portion and how we can collaborate with our sales teams to improve that experience and reach out to those individuals a little sooner."
"PeerSpot can be improved with better AI."
"Despite having generated a lot of reviews, it has been hard to change our ranking or positioning."
"Currently, the dashboards are useful and good, but there is room for improvement, especially with the ability to process data using AI."
"PeerSpot can be improved in that the leads or the intent leads that we have received do not really fit our customer ICP very well, so we have not gotten a lot of value from those."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
